For the first eight weeks of her life, the NICU in Glasgow became Marnie's first home. Marnie underwent three major heart operations and three significant ENT repairs within those initial weeks.
Parents Rachel Bizarion and Scott Adam have named their daughter Marnie. She is named after the nurse who helped the family during Marnie's 12 week stay in Royal Hospital for Children , Glasgow Neonatal Intensive Care Unit .
"In Glasgow's NICU, she was greeted by a remarkable nurse named Marnie McVeigh. This nurse's compassion and dedication inspired us to name our daughter after her. Nurse Marnie treated our little girl as her own, guiding us through some of the darkest days with unwavering support." Top news stories today "The journey was incredibly challenging, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. For weeks, only mummy and daddy could meet her, while our family back home waited patiently and painfully to see her.
"Making sure families feel supported regardless of distance is challenging, but I'm very glad to be part of a team that values family-integrated care so much that it becomes second nature to us," said Marnie McVeigh. I may be a little biased, but having Rachel choose Marnie as a final name is pretty awesome as it means I have a lasting link with a family that really needed support through one of the most challenging moments of their early days as a family.
